How do I open a GIF file on my computer?

On almost all operating systems, most web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.) open online GIFs with no problem—you don’t need any other program on your computer. Open local GIFs with the Open menu or possibly with a drag-and-drop into the browser window.

How do I view a GIF frame by frame in Windows 10?

Open the GIF in IrfanView. Go to Options>Extract all frames. This will open a small options window where you can select where you want the extracted frames to go. This window also tells you how many frames, in total, are in the GIF, and you have the option of extracting all of them or just a select range of them.
